and Facebook are being used increasingly today by internet marketers! And the
result of it has been of humongous importance to the marketing field. So this
completely negates these views of the analysts!

Yes, there is capital in social capital.
Yes, there is a market for attention.

How will it be mined?

I suspect the miners know but are not yet ready to show you the road map to their goldmine.

Your theory often applies to corporate america too. With everyone so focused on getting through next week’s sales rewsults, there lacks a burning need to truly innovate. Ther is less need to think three steps ahead, but rather, make it through the quarter.

I think you are wrong on this one. Twitter is glorified text messaging and will go the way of roller-blades, breakdancing and parachute pants. There will be a following, but the public interest will wane in a few years.

Yes, I believe Twitter is a fad. That does not mean it is not neat-o, nor does that mean I am not a fan of social media. I’m a big believer in the space.

I would love to be proven wrong. I think those guys have a great gimmick and should sell as fast as humanly possible.

Of course, a profit making model ultimately owned by the User base is fairly atypical and results from its unique ability to straddle the profit and non-profit worlds.

By the way, would have been an interesting (and more useful to both the Donor and P&G) opportunity for that T-Shirt promotion mentioned a few posts ago which I’d be happy to lay out for any interested.

I’ve written about start-ups, started my own, and working for a start-up.

It’s ORDERS of magnitude easier to write about a start-up than it is to start one and successfully or otherwise turn it into a true business.

“Utterly ridiculous on so many fronts it’s hard for me to summon the energy to refute it.”

Twitter has a big opportunity in front of them and it’s the real deal. I’ll be posting something on SiliconAngle.com shortly but their message on their web page echos my thoughts months ago when the notion that no business model existed. They have one for sure and it’s looking good.
